Completing /** should generate Javadoc with params

[fbricon]

typing /**+Enter on top of methods/constructors should generate Javadoc with parameters like in Eclipse or typescript support in VS Code:

It doesn't work

[fbricon]

No it doesn't, since the bug is still open

This would be the dream, one step closer to get rid of IntelliJ, please make this happen

Kudos to @snjeza for making it happen:

@fbricon How do I activate this? I don't get the javadoc comment autocomplete. I have the latest version of Language Support for Java installed.

[timobehrens]

OK, so I get it for some method signatures, but not for all.

This one is triggered correctly:

private CloudFile getCloudFile(String shareName, String folderPath, String fileName){

And this one isn't:

public boolean downloadFile(String shareName, String folderPath, String fileName, String destinationFolder) {

@snjeza

[fbricon]

I guess it's enabled for public methods only, for some reason

[timobehrens]

It's actually the other way round: Only private methods trigger it.

[fbricon]

mmm it looks like sometimes the completion is too slow to show up. Can you just try and wait for a couple seconds after /** ?

I have the latest version of this language support installed, and the latest version of vscode; this feature does not work for any functions withing my Spring Boot application, no matter what access modifier is used.

Is anyone else having issues with this feature?

[praenubilus]

Latest version, not triggered for either public or static version

[chuckb]

1.31.1 VSCode and 0.39.0 Language Support for Java. Javadocs will not format parameters. Used to work. Now does not.

[fbricon]

Please open a new ticket with steps to reproduce

[spottedmahn]

is there a way to trigger it to update the Javadoc comment for added/removed params?

is there a way to trigger it to update the Javadoc comment for added/removed params?

Well I dont know if this is feasible as a feature, but currently I remove the entire javadoc comment and regenerate it...(of course,I would have copied the content in between)!!!
